Never tried it, but curl gets its time stamp from exactly when the
debug callback is called, which of course may differ from when wireshark
captures the packet.

Are you saying they always differ with the same amount (466ms) of time?

Note that curl shows the "wall clock" number of microseconds, they're not
relative to the start time. The seconds field is relative to the first second
it gets logged: https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/src/tool_cb_dbg.c#L61
